Very close Ibram. Much as some people just like to hear themselves talk, others just like to see themselves in print. Getting something...anything...out there becomes an end unto itself. The means (i.e. content) becomes inconsequential. There's no real effort toward being incomprehensible: it's just a matter of indifference secondary to the extenuating circumstances. This doesn't happen with every OP; rather, it happens when the writer runs out of subject matter of personal consequence yet still feels compelled to write. One can usually tell by the OP what the rest of the person's posts in the thread will be like and not waste time there. The user's MO has become acceptable; because, this user has been up front about it. Many would do the same for someone who had trouble controlling their temper; but, acknowledged it and asked everyone not to take outbursts too personally. People will often grant a person who owns up to something the dignity of being ignored, even if they can't find anything to respect, rather than antagonize that person.
